Today's famous mouth Bill Simmons speculated on a podcast show about the potential value of the Trail Blazers before the upcoming sale.

Simmons said: "I heard that there is a buyer and the price may exceed $4 billion. This is the only two things I have heard. It is generally believed that the price will be around $3.5 billion, but I think it will exceed $4 billion."

Simmons believes that the team's choice of Hansen Yang and Lillard's return can increase the team's attractiveness to potential buyers. Simmons said: "Lillard's things are crazy. They paid him $14 million this year and he doesn't have to play. They also chose Yang Hansen at the 16th pick. In fact, they can choose him in more than 20 picks, but the team is very eager to get him and don't want to take any risks. At this point the conspiracy theory has been activated. The combination of these two things is worth noting." The sales of the Trail Blazers was launched in May this year.

Yang Hansen averaged 10.8 points, 5 rebounds and 2.3 blocks in four games in the Summer League.

According to previous reports, Lillard reached a buyout agreement with the Bucks, and then returned to the Trail Blazers for three years and $42 million.
